A very dry Pilsener. Like everything this brewery brews you always get a very dry after palate taste. Smells like almost nothing. Giant foamy head. Looks ok...very clear...not golden simply clear and yellow. Smells like zero. Tastes like a really good american pale lager...but not a very good pilsener. I’ve had much better...like the Live Oak Pilz. On the forefront it is sort of bitter...can taste the Saaz hops but they fade quickly into a very dry yeast that overcomes everything else. It’s ok If you want a step up from Budweiser. G-rat

Crystal clear, light gold. Thin white head that dies quickly. Not much aroma. Light palate but perfectly OK for a summer pils. Good little sweet malt backbone. This is better than a 25. Don’t know if I’d buy it again but I’m glad I tried it.

Spicy, doughy aroma. Bubbly, crystal clear golden body with a white head that quickly diminished. Moderately malty taste with a hop bite. Has a kind of tongue coating sweetness as well that I found enjoyable. Overall, this is a refreshing, tasty beer that I wouldnt mind drinking after a 100 degree day in Houston.

Not bad for a blandly flavored pils. A bit of a sweet finish, light aroma, light flavor. This is a lawnmower or "pass to your BMC buddies" beer. Pretty light, drinkable, but nothing exceptional.

Bottle from Spechs; League City; Nose is grassy hops, with a caramel note; gold with a medium white head; Flavor is grainy with light sweet caramel with a small bitter hop finish. Very good pilsener.

The pour was exceptionally carbonated. The head was creamy and white. The aroma was sweet and bran-like. The flavor was sweet, grass, and waxy. The palate was smooth. The finish was lightly hoppy.

Pours a crystal clear, light golden color. A foamy, white head leaves some nice, jagged lines of lace behind. Aromas include sweet pale malts, biscuit, grassy hops, and freshly cut cereal grains. Flavors are light and crisp, with the clean, sharp grass notes cutting right through the delicate, toasty malts and balancing things out perfectly. There’s a touch of peppery spice in there as well. Medium bodied and smooth, it drinks super easy and finishes as clean as a whistle, with a fresh, grassy aftertaste. This is a really nice summertime session beer.

Not sure why the crowns on Ratebeer are ranking in mid 2’s? Ranking this beer against it’s peers in the Summer Pils Lager category, I think this stands up very nicely. Pours straw yellow with grassy malted nose. Taste is strong pilsner, without the skunking of a Heineken. Very refreshing, light, sessionable. (But I was just done with mowing the lawn - Perhaps that is why it tasted so good.)
